West Tamar region - TAS

Vineyards and cellar doors, quaint accommodation and memorable caravan parks, living history, fabulous cafés and unique attractions await you in the West Tamar. The Tamar is home to some of Tasmania's most beautiful landscapes.

West Tamar is situated alongside the majestic Tamar River. At 58 kilometres it is Australia's longest navigable tidal estuary. The Tamar runs through the heart of high-yielding vineyard country, orchards, gently sloping hills and forests. Tourism is one of the main industries contributing to the growth of the region.

Some of the many attractions that will tempt you include a Swiss Village at Grindelwald, fascinating gold mining history in Beaconsfield, a bush maze, lavender fields and fascinating animals including seahorses, platypuses and Tasmanian devils.

Pick up a locally made treasure at Artisan Gallery or the Tamar Visitor Centre in Exeter, a haven for locally made products. The friendly volunteers and staff will welcome you with a smile and assist with all of your travel enquiries, phone (03) 6394 4454.
